The Musical Box
Play me Old King Cole / That I may join with you / All your hearts now seem so far from me / It hardly seems to matter now / And the nurse will tell you lies / Of a kingdom beyond the skies / But I am lost within this half-world / It hardly seems to matter now.
Play me my song / Here it comes again / Play me my song / Here it comes again.
Just a little bit / Just a little bit more time / Time left to live out my life.
Play me my song / Here it comes again / Play me my song / Here it comes again.
Old King Cole was a merry old soul / And a merry old soul was he / So he called for his pipe / And he called for his bowl / And he called for his fiddlers three.
But the clock, tick-tock / On the mantelpiece - / And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch / HER WARMTH!
She's a lady, she's got time / Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face / She's a lady, she is mine / Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.
I've been waiting here for so long / And all this time has passed me by / It doesn't seem to matter now / You stand there with your fixed expression / Casting doubt on all I have to say / Why don't you touch me, touch me / Why don't you touch me, touch me / Touch me now, now, now, now, now
